[I]f Pettitte does the kind of job he has done for a very long time in New York, going all the way back to October of 1996, then the Yankees don't have to worry about another one-game season against the Angels.

Then again, here's another Game 6 pitched by Big Game Andy, during another series in which the MFY led 3-2.

I don't, really. I want them to lose. I'll be thrilled if they lose. And lose horribly. But if they don't ... I won't be happy, but meh. In many ways, they are just another team now. The 1 out of 30 that won the prize. Okay. On to 2010.

I also think there's something not right about this directv commercial with david spade and chris farley, who is dead, in a scene from Tommy Boy, in which david spade redoes his lines to be about getting directv and they use the footage from the movie of dead farley.

speaking of which, i was watching a planet earth special tonight and they did a feature on midges. was quite interesting. i still have no idea how the hell they made it to jacobs field that day, but oh well!

I am interested to see how many save opportunities are actually blown. We always hear how fucking wonderful rivera is but how is he really when compared to the whole picture data? I mean how likely is it for a shitty closer to blow a game and how many wins can actually attributed to him and how much of the credit for a win goes to where it belongs, the people who pitched and played the other 8 innings? Would rivera have half as many saves if he were on the Royals for the last 15 years?

Ish, I'm sure MLB will grant your wish this time. It's inevitable. More TV, money money. If only they'd shorten the season by a week or 10 days, so we're not playing baseball on Thanksgiving. (Not Canadian Thanksgiving, either.)
